The Empire of Patrua

“Indivisibiliter ac Inseparabiliter”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Empire of Patrua is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Emperor Franz-Leopold with a fair hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, complete lack of public education, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless population of 47.419 billion Patruans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The relatively small, corrupt, socially-minded, outspoken government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Environment receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vienna. The average income tax rate is 39.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Patruan economy, worth an astonishing 12,802 trillion Kroner a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 269,987 Kroner, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one, the government has enacted freedom of information, police pull people off the street for even mentioning the word plane, and judges are all-powerful. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force. Patrua's national animal is the eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Patrua is ranked 326,038^th in the world and 14,424^th in Osiris for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring -35.78 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
